Danny Simon

Danny Simon's twenty-nine
and he's prematurely gray,
and paradise is all around him,
but it just gets in his way.

Here's another unread message,
a Gold Mine came to call.
And everytime I'm the one to find him,
he's got his face turned to some wall.

Hey boy, what the hell you chasin'?
Don't you know that sound you hear
is your own heart racing?

Fifteen guys tryin' to find 'im,
each with blood in their eye,
and our boy Danny's tryin' to find
some place he ain't burned to hide.

And the only woman that ever loved him
is waiting for him at home.
Danny's flyin' Jamaican wind
and goin' to bed alone.

Hey boy, what the hell you chasin'?
Don't you know that sound you hear
is your own heart racing?

Last time I saw Danny
he took off like a shot.
I swear that damn motorcycle,
it's the only thing he's got.

yeah, that damned Harley-Davidson.
It's the only thing he's got.

And the only woman that ever loved him
is still waitin' for him at home.
Danny's flyin', shakin' and hidin'
and goin' to bed alone.

Hey boy, what the hell you chasin'?
Don't you know that sound you hear
is your own heart racing?

Hey boy, what the hell you chasin'?
Don't you know that sound you hear
is your own heart racing?
